Storage module PS1100R

The Stingray™ PS1100R storage controller platform features unprecedented performance per watt in a fully integrated adapter solution, enabling fast development and delivery of storage services and Ethernet fabric-attached Flash solutions. The PS1100R can be used to deliver a range of storage solutions, from high-performance Flash arrays to block/object storage, along with software-based storage services. The Stingray BCM58804H data center SoC, which combines Broadcom’s NetXtreme® 100GbE networking core with ARM processor subsystems with hardware acceleration for key workloads, forms the foundation of the PS1100R platform. Fabricated in 16nm FF+ process, the Stingray SoC enables industry leading integration and ARM CPU performance in a compact, low-power package. The PCIe form-factor eases chassis development and enables modular storage solution designs. The latest generation integrated 100Gb NetXtreme Ethernet NIC provides high packet rates, low latency and a complement of network acceleration functions for the modern data center. The powerful TruFlow™ configurable flow accelerator adds a powerful packet inspection and processing capability in the hardware, moving common flow-processing workloads into hardware and freeing CPUs for application workloads. Support for the NVMe-oF standard is enabled over RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) v1 and v2, as well as over TCP and other transports, ensuring a future-proof and scalable platform for the deployment of disaggregated storage over a range of topologies.
